1.6 Options for Linking ¶

These options come into play when the compiler links object files into an executable output file. They are meaningless if the compiler is not doing a link step.

-defaultlib=libname

Specify the library to use instead of libphobos when linking. Options specifying the linkage of libphobos, such as -static-libphobos or -shared-libphobos, are ignored.

-debuglib=libname

Specify the debug library to use instead of libphobos when linking. This option has no effect unless the -g option was also given on the command line. Options specifying the linkage of libphobos, such as -static-libphobos or -shared-libphobos, are ignored.

-nophoboslib

Do not use the Phobos or D runtime library when linking. Options specifying the linkage of libphobos, such as -static-libphobos or -shared-libphobos, are ignored. The standard system libraries are used normally, unless -nostdlib or -nodefaultlibs is used.

-shared-libphobos

On systems that provide libgphobos and libgdruntime as a shared and a static library, this option forces the use of the shared version. If no shared version was built when the compiler was configured, this option has no effect.

-static-libphobos

On systems that provide libgphobos and libgdruntime as a shared and a static library, this option forces the use of the static version. If no static version was built when the compiler was configured, this option has no effect.
